I was referring to you, and that was how your posts came off to me whether you intended them that way or not, I don't know. Internet communication leaves enormous amounts of room for error, so I don't like to make definitive statements based solely on that. But your frequent chants of 'DIE DIE DIE,' and the relish you seem to have when you talk about twisting the knife in slowly gives that impression. I apologize if I'm wrong and I'm mischaracterizing your posts.
Your explanation just further reinforces my opinion that you are looking at this through a quasi-religious lens. No offense but I don't see what I would need to apologize for. Your earlier posts you called Lebanon a "w**** host" it was only later when called upon it you changed it to "w**** of Babylon" and stated you were referring to Hezbollah. While I will accept your explanation in your use of the term "w****" in regard to a Biblical view but it is still a sexist term and your explanations in regard to is that you essentially state that Lebanon is complicit by sheltering Hezbollah still ignores the facts that the Lebanese military is weaker than Hezbollah and your criticism of Lebanon and use of the term 'w**** host" in regard to Lebanon could very easily be construed as sexist in nature. The most direct reading implies that Lebanon is a w**** that is hosting Hezbollah and not the other way around. In regard to respect yes I would hope to keep the debate civil and will do my best to do so. That won't prevent me from expressing my view, forcefully if need be but will attempt to stay substantive. Personally it would be disrespecful of me not to give you an honest opinion. I don't agree with your view on this matter, I don't understand the vitriol of your posts and find it disturbing. That is my honest opinion.
Alright Sishir, I will accept your feeling on this...Look my wife doesn't agree with me and she voted for Kerry, heaven forbid! For some reason, she puts up with me...That should tell you there is an aspect about me that doesn't have a "my view or else" mentality...I really felt like you misread me almost completely..."Mischaracterizing" by you seems to be done in error and not with intent, so I cannot condemn further... I want to address some of your points: I believe I am..., and that is for reasons that examine and acknowledge "religion" is a root cause... IMO, Lebanon IS a w**** HOST in the connotation that it is a "host" of the w****...With the reference of "w****": a short name for the "w**** of babylon"...I already explained the w**** of babylon is hezbollah as the reference...It is similar if I call your carpet a "flea host", this implies your carpet is a host of fleas...no? The connection is really easy to see and I don't understand how you are not getting it...It is blatantly clear I meant Hezbollah as the w**** host... You have the right to find what I say as "disturbing", but my view of you as a poster who can think critically is greatly diminshed.
